It looks like a juvenile Starling, possibly fresh out of a birdbath!!

Or a juvenile blackbird in the process of becoming black?

Definitely the beak of a blackbird. Starlings have a more pointy beak to poke into your lawn to find creepy crawlies.

Thanks folks. I assume at this stage it's impossible to know if it's male or female?

Update on my wasp war, despite the battery of wasp nest sprays the most effective treatment was wedging a piece of wood into the entrance of the underground nest.
